Channel 11 talked with Ruffing’s family about the search efforts. Crews used drones, helicopters, bloodhounds and other technology to help find him.

“We don’t know what happened, all we can figure is some kind of medical event had to have occurred that he just wandered off. He doesn’t have his medication and he doesn’t have a cell phone and this is completely unlike him,” his daughter, Lauren Ruffing, said.

Police haven’t released where he was found.
